Soon after the Majestic Appalachian Mountains have lost their
dazzling yellow glow of autumn and head into winter, tourists begin their mass exodus,
leaving the countryside nearly deserted.
During the winter months the majority of the Majestic Appalachian's best fisheries are
frozen in suspended animation. Many waters in the Appalachian Mountains stay fishable on
all but the coldest days.
MAJESTIC
APPALACHIAN FLY FISHING
Mayflies and caddisflies continue
to hatch throughout the frigid season, keeping the fish active. Experienced anglers know
that some of the best fishing is just arriving.
Nymph fishing is also popular in the Majestic
Appalachian Mountains. When flies lay their eggs in lakes or streams the eggs hatch into
nymphs. As the nymphs make their way to the surface the fish eat them. If the nymphs
reach the surface without being eaten they will morph into flies. This cycle continues
with the nymph.
Some sportsmen perfer fly rod fishing because there is a lot of action in fly fishing. For
those of you who don't know what a fly looks like:
FLIES USED
IN FLY FISHING
With a fly rod the fisherman attempts to hook the fish and stop it
from spitting out the fly, keeping it on the hook until the fish gets tired enough so
that it can be netted.
Fly fishing in the Majestic Appalachian Mountains is fun for the whole
family. Anyone who loves fishing will have an unforgettable experience!
